Just saw the Mattek-Sands injury
Horrendous, hope it not acl but it's dislocated at best.Just saw the Mattek-Sands injury
Fed is massacring the poor guy.
It reminded me of that Zouma injury, where he was lying on the floor and kept screaming in pain. Not a good sign.
I've only seen 1 other knee injury that bad and it was career ending.
Good stuff from Fed. Played about 4 sets in two matches which can't be bad for him being rested in the later rounds.
Ya didn't look good, did my acl twice and hearing her scream in agony nearly brought tears to my eyes. Poor girl.
Yeah Sands crying "help me" today sucked to hear
I'm the same with my mcl and meniscus. It's like a twinge goes through my own knee when I watch someone else hurt theirs
Same
van Gaal in the crowd today.
Just came in to post this:

Also, extraordinary from Radwanska managing to progress after facing 2 match points against her.
Must be horrifying for her opponent as well. The girl went up close and was there helpless for 10-15 min as Sands begged her for help.
Never thought Wimbledon would be this careless with their athletes. It's inexcusable a tournament of such prestige and finance took 15 min for a medical crew to arrive at the court. Surely one medic should be present at every court in case of emergency?
Dont wanna know what would happen if a tennis player with an unknown heart condition collapses at Wimbledon. Surely it would be a few minutes until a defibrillator arrives to the scene...
I was shocked by the wait time as well. They definitely need to look at that and fix it. Even high school wrestling tournaments have a trainer on every mat.
Indeed. Had it been her heart and not her knee, we'd be talking about a death on the court.
On a lighter note...
Pironkova vs. Wozniacki is nice to look at

The response was a little slow but it definitely didn't take 15 minutes, the medics were with her a minute or two after it happened.
I was going by these comments.
So it seems it wasnt the event's medics but Cirstea's physio, no?
Got a grounds pass today after work. Didn't have to queue too long. Nice little visit.
Cirstea was understandably pretty shook up about the whole thing, Wimbledon say the first response took a minute. The stretcher arrived about 10 minutes after it happened but they didn't take her off court for quite a while after that.
Do you think it has something to do with the ground? I couldnt watch much so far but from what I've seen today weather seems overcast and Federer wasn't happy with the surface, he kept flattening them between serves. Lots of retirements so far as well.
No, there were two doctors there. First they had to give her a pain killer, then ease her onto the stretcher: a delicate job as you could inadvertently move something loose around.
That's because players are going into matches injured so they can collect their money and retire one set into the match.
It is true, but the frequency this year is weird, and now we have this freak injury.
I suspect with hindsight the time taken seems longer because of her condition. Still, I was more concerned with how long it took for help to reach her than for the time taken once treatment had began. Apparently it was around 3 minutes, which imo is unacceptable for such an event.
Mladenovic and Riske apparently wanted to stop playing on their court, said it was too slippery and there was no grass left. Not seen too many other comments other than how slow conditions are but the courts all look terrible considering it's only day four. Think most of the retirements (certainly Klizan and Dolgopolov) were due to existing issues though, to be fair.
To be fair most the retirements were with players who were carrying injuries into the tournament and just wanted that prize money.
Can't believe that the ATP have not implemented the lucky loser scenario for the slams. Usually in a masters or smaller events the case would be that if someone pulls out with a injury in the first round then they would get paid for that and the lucky loser coming in would get paid if they make it to the second round.
I've watched it a few times and still don't understand what happened (the injury) just looks like a bad twist? I'm not very smart with injuries so what would a bad twist actually do? Tear ligaments or something?
Also, all this 15 minutes bollocks is people over reacting because most tennis fans aren't used to seeing a serious injury. I can't think of such an injury in tennis before? Nothing that has appeared as serious as this one?

Yep that's what happens, depending on which ligament goes and if it is a full tear in half it can render the knee totally useless. When my friend did it he tried to stand back up and his knee folded completely sideways.
The amount of slipping on the grass is a little strange. Every year it's the same; players turn into Falcao out there. Is there an issue with footwear?
Sorry for the shitpost but why is Lingard playing Wimbeldon female round?
Because grass is slippery
Nishikori on his way out of Wimbey. 2 sets down to Bautista Agut.
big match up here for Rafa
Khachanov, warm the feck up already. Unforced errors a plenty.
To be fair Rafa has started like a freight train..think he realised the kid could be a threat with confidence. Brilliant by Rafa.
Indeed, very strong.
Though, now the Russian takes a break without losing a point.

What a shit Show from the russian. Nadal is strong and the grass is slow, but khachanov is in tomic mode
Also, was khachanov always this heavy on the top spin?
